Flexibility is key. You will need to be adaptable to changing schedules and last-minute requests, as the needs of UHNW individuals can vary, but your general work pattern will be:

* Housekeepers’ holidays are required to coincide with the family’s holidays (The family travels often, and you will be notified of holiday periods well in advance, allowing you to plan time off).

Experience:

To be successful in the role you will be able to demonstrate experience in a similar role, working with UHNW families in a private household. Previous experience in silver service, and laundry services would also be beneficial.

You will have a positive attitude, maintaining good working relationships with other household staff, as well as having a gentle personality and a fondness for children and pets
